I have read the following syllogism, inscribed in earnest and sent abroad in search of mass consent. Aristotle himself would be proud:

1. Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu supports the Corona vaccine.
2. Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu accuses Chaim Walder (well, Rabbi Eliyahu isn’t alone… but let’s ignore that).
3. Ergo, CW is probably innocent.

Q.E.D.

With crushing logic like this, I don’t suppose I stand a chance, but let me try to argue for the prosecution here.

You see, CW also supported the Corona vaccine, and I mean publicly.

Worse, Rabbi Eliyahu hasn’t stated an opinion one way or another on wearing masks (Note: this claim is unsupported in keeping with the honored custom of occasionally inserting unsupported claims in these sort of coolly-reasoned discussions), while CW has crudely propagandized for masking on behalf of the Health Ministry.

So, if anything… (vagueness is my friend here, so we’ll just stick with the ellipses.)

While your head spins, I now quote a recognized authority to appear smarter:

There is simple ignorance, which is the source of lighter offenses, and double ignorance, which is accompanied by a conceit of wisdom.

~ Aristotle 

Anyway, how am I doing so far (Quick note to graphics guy: we need that impressive, bearded image of Aristotle in here before this goes out to our subscribers. I hope you’re listening this time)…?

Excerpt from Complex:

The New York Times reports Brahmadeo Mandal, an 85-year-old resident of the eastern Bihar state, has received 12 COVID-19 vaccines since getting his first dose on Feb. 13 of last year.

“I felt that it was helping my general health,” Mandal told the NYT. “My backache has improved, my general weakness improved, and my appetite improved.”

Even after getting the jab a dozen times, Mandal claims he has no plans of stopping after his 12th dose. “I still want more,” he said.

As for how he was able to trick health officials, Mandal says he used his national identity card and his mobile number for nine of the 12 shots. From there, he duped the system by going to different locations and using the identities and phone numbers of relatives.

Wow.
